Bali is known for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture, but beyond its tourist charm lies a community where acts of kindness make a real impact. A WOW Day with SoleFamily is a truly humbling experience—one that takes you deep into the heart of Bali to meet and support those in need.
The Start of an Unforgettable Day
Our journey begins at 9 AM, as we set off with the SoleFamily team, loaded with food and clothing parcels destined for families across the island. Each stop along the way is a reminder of the strength and resilience of the people we meet. From bustling streets to remote villages, we witness firsthand the power of compassion in action.
Connecting with SoleBuddies
Throughout the day, we visit SoleBuddies—individuals and families facing unique challenges, from health issues to financial hardships. Each encounter is filled with emotion, gratitude, and often, pure joy.
- Divia & Her Mum – On their way home after receiving medical care, their journey highlights the critical role of SoleFamily’s transport and support services.
- Candra – A child with special needs, whose excitement over new toys lights up the room, showing the simple joys that can make a difference.
- Ibu Suartini & Family – Recovering from a stroke, Ibu Suartini’s strength is inspiring. Visiting her family reminds us of the interconnected support that SoleFamily provides.
- Dharma Sakti – A young boy whose infectious laughter and playful spirit bring warmth to every visit.
- Eka Wati – Thriving after thyroid surgery, her journey from illness to health, marriage, and motherhood is a testament to resilience.
- Ketut Bentir & Siblings – Once confined due to mental health struggles, Ketut’s transformation under SoleFamily’s care showcases the importance of compassion and medical support.
The Meaning Behind WOW Days
WOW Days earned their name from the awe-inspiring experiences they bring. With each visit, the emotions are overwhelming—stories of hardship, triumph, and unwavering hope unfold before our eyes. The SoleFamily team, led by the incredible Sarah (affectionately known as “WOW Sis”), forms deep bonds with the SoleBuddies. Their work is not just about providing aid but about fostering meaningful connections and changing lives.
The Impact That Lasts Beyond the Day
As the day comes to an end, we find ourselves reflecting on the journey. Returning home by 10 PM, we carry with us more than just memories—we carry a renewed perspective on the power of giving.
SoleFamily is more than an organisation; it is a movement of love, support, and hope. With their open hearts and unwavering dedication, they continue to bring light into the lives of so many across Bali. Being part of a WOW Day is not just an experience—it’s a privilege.
